Cancelled membership. Am I liable to pay until end of April?

Ofcourse if it’s consistent.

I’ve clearly been singled out compared to other members last year.

For e.g

OM winner
Seniors Championship
2 x board comps
1 x KO

That’s 5 majors mopped up from last year by 1 member.

Was he touched?

I’ll give you one guess…..
Again it is impossible to judge without all sides of the story. A player could win a lot and his handicap might be continuing to reduce accordingly to match his new demonstrated ability, this happens quite a bit with Juniors, improvers or people in a rich vein of form.
It is different when someone keeps winning and their handicap doesn’t reduce or even increases over the time.
Without all the facts you can’t judge.
 
That’s what I was worried about.

Forumers thinking I’ve left on bad terms or something?

🧐
Only because you've called the Committee at your old club "tin pot", were clearly disgusted by the handicap cut they gave you, and have promptly decided to leave the club, bring several members with you.

From what you've told us, it is difficult to imagine you have left without a fuss, or left with a guard of honour. :ROFLMAO:

What was his handicap at the beginning and end of the year?

Did his handicap also increase by nearly 5 shots in one full season plus 2 winters, whilst enjoying that success?
 
I don't work in financial services, but this is what I read. Maybe there were changes to the law.

It doesn't make sense for payments in installments to require a consumer credit licence. Loads of companies operate this way. Let's say I'm getting a new patio for £4k and I agree to pay the bulder £2k up front and £2k after completion. Is that a financial facility?
If the club are offering to let you pay your annual subs, which are due on 1 April in installments, over the following 12 months then that by its definition is a credit agreement and so the club would need a credit license. Interst has no bearing on whether it is a credit agreement or not. On the other hand if the club offers a monthly membership, that is not credit and the club would not need a credit license.

No because the payment is due on successful completion of the work and so credit has been not been offered by the builder.
 
not really going to go into all the ins and outs.

Everything I’ve said with last years member has been brought to me by others members. It’s common knowledge at the club.

That was just one example, whole club could be ran through with the same formula used against me.

Not going to stand there and do that am I?

Got better things to do. Off swimming now with my kids at my new club. Let’s see how really green that grass is

If the pool has green grass, regardless of the shade, I think you've made a bad decision ;)

No because in this case the goods or service have not been provided until completion. You have no obligation to pay until the service has been provided (even if the builder insists). If you had the patio built and then entered in to any agreement for installments then yes, that would constitute a forwarded facility (the good or service has been provided in lieu of payment). The key in it is that the forwarded facility is taken on as a burden to the provider until such time as the agreed payments have been made. Usually in the form of a binding contract/agreement.

As I say, I spent some time working with these regs but it was a few years ago now so they may well have been modified.
